The results are in for Paul Davey’s Runner’s World 26.2 challenge

Vote for PaulThe results are in for the Runner’s World 26.2 challenge – unfortunately it wasn’t good news for our own Paul Davey. After a week of tireless campaigning and despite over 4,000 votes being cast in his favour he was pipped to the post in a photo finish. It must have been very close, with the lead changing hands countless times in the last 24 hours of voting.

Thanks to everyone for the support – he definitely had the whole club behind him!

Birmingham XC League – 7 December

More great results from the weekend, with the senior men putting in a strong performance at muddy Burbage Common. The A team finished 3rd and the B team won the B team race.

Everyone ran superbly and it was great to have another strong turnout with 18 runners competing.  Ollie Haradence had a great run to finish in 4th place, whilst Chris Taylor and Tom Chew also ran particularly well, improving significantly on their placings in the 1st race.  Well done everyone!

Thanks to Phil Pollock for helping with the officiating and to our small band of supporters who cheered us on in the cold. Your support is much appreciated.

The results are available on the Birmingham XC website.

And if you haven’t done so already, spread the word and VOTE PAUL DAVEY
